When it first became popular, we thought we had a nice new sweetener. It sounds smooth: Agave Nectar. It's low glycemic, but it's high in fructose (75%) and processed by heating. Maple syrup and coconut sugar (mentioned previously) are better for you because they are minimally processed and also low glycemic. These days I avoid agave nectar and use maple syrup or coconut syrup (sap) whenever possible.
